RE: 167 Spring Street – Exterior Alterations
Dear Tamie,
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the application to make exterior
alterations at 167 Spring Street.
The front-gable house located at 167 Spring Street was built in 1907 by Elizabeth M.
Snyder. It was the residence of Dr. Leo W. Roohan and his family from 1922 until 1963
and it was later the home of Helen and Herbert Gaige from 1985 until the current owners
acquired the property. It is a contributing building to the East Side Historic District listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.
The house historically had a one-story, full-width porch. The bay window at the southwest
corner was added between 1926 and 1933. The full-width porch was removed between
1948 and 1954. The Foundation is pleased with the effort to restore the porch, an important
character-defining feature of the house. The Foundation does not object to the other
proposed exterior changes.
The Foundation appreciates the investment the owner is making in their historic house.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
Sincerely,
Michele Funiciello Samantha Bosshart
President Executive Director
